Suat Tuzlak
	
Suat Tuzlac was born in Turkey. He followed a friend to the Yukon in 1984 and used money earned from working in the oil patch to open an organic bakery on Fourth Avenue in Whitehorse.((Anna Crawford, "Bakery loyalists break with new owners." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse). 20 January 2017.)) Space was limited so Tuzlak hired a stone mason from Vancouver to build a brick oven, a kachelöfen with ceramic-tiles, in his yard at 510 Hawkins Street. The oven had eight-inch walls and a Yukon chimney, and Tuzlac used it for a time to bake bread for his store.((Nellie Dale, “510 Hawkins: the Kachelöfen Guest House.” //Whats Up Yukon// (Whitehorse), 18 November 2010.)) 

Tuzlak’s Alpine Bakery operation was very successful, a pioneer business in the north and Canada.((Anna Crawford, "Bakery loyalists break with new owners." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse). 20 January 2017.)) He was twenty-five years in the large wooden lodge on 5th Avenue before he decided to sell the business. He milled his own grain brought up from Saskatchewan, and all of his breads were a variety of sourdough. He also started a produce club where customers could get locally grown vegetables in the summer.((Pierre Chauvin, “Beloved Whitehorse baker kneads some time for himself.” //Yukon News// (Whitehorse), 9 December 2016.)) 

Tuzlac was well-known for his donations to schools, food banks and other organizations.((Anna Crawford, "Bakery loyalists break with new owners." //Whitehorse Star// (Whitehorse). 20 January 2017.))
